Cotton Seed Treatments

Cotton farmers have a broad-spectrum of insects and fungal diseases that can attack, and in some cases, wipe out their fields. The very best insurance a farmer can buy to protect their seed investment is a proven seed treatment. In fact, there is no replacement for a validated seed treatment to protect against insects or seed and soil-borne fungi that guarantee healthy roots and consistent, vigorous seedling emergence. Albaugh offers cotton farmers a breadth of seed treatment choices that work together to protect their crop against insects and diseases in their specific region. Tested in cotton fields by universities and consultants, Albaugh cotton seed treatment combinations result in performance, increased yields and greater profits for growers.

Albaugh Cotton Seed Treatment Offers

Azoxystrobin 100 ST
Azoxystrobin 100 ST is a broad spectrum, preventative seed treatment fungicide with systemic properties. Azoxystrobin is recommended for the control of major seed-borne and soil-borne diseases including Rhizoctonia spp., Penicillium spp., seedling damping off and Pythium spp. This proven fungicide seed treatment helps protect the seed investment by protecting the roots leaving them disease free, robust and able to uptake nutrients and water. Healthy roots mean healthy harvests and profits.

When you apply fungicide & insecticide seed treatments to your seed you expect it to be there when the seed and seedling need it. Resonate™ 600 ST insecticide is driven by a new innovative formulation that reduces seed treatment dust off. Developing a new formulation for an insecticide that reduces dust off and provides improved characteristics that enhance stewardship is very exciting from a chemistry and formulation perspective because it adds value for those who treat it as well as those who plant it.

New “patent pending” formulation technology

Reduced dust-off from seed treat application

Enhanced Custom Blend Stability & Compatibility

Consistent broad-spectrum performance & protection

Cotton Nematicide Offer

Cotton farming is not what it used to be. But in some instances, it is. Nematodes, for example, are not pests that move rapidly unless transported by equipment. So, while the presence of nematodes in cotton fields has not necessarily increased, the incidence of nematodes being properly identified has. So many times through the years yellowing, stunting and serious yield loss in cotton has been incorrectly attributed to other pests, nutrient deficiencies and environmental conditions.

Today, cotton growers are more prepared and more well versed on the topic of nematodes and they have superior technologies like BIOST® Nematicide to proactively fight the fight.

BIOST® Nematicide is part of the BIOST® platform, the only platform of biological seed treatments on the market. It prepares cotton farmers to avoid the worst – crop devastation by root knot, reniform and other nematodes indigenous to cotton growing areas. In addition, University Research confirms that BIOST® Nematicide significantly reduces and eggs and juveniles of Rootknot and Reniform nematodes.

The Albaugh premium nematicide, insecticide and fungicide cotton seed treatment is a superior combination of separately registered active ingredients for cotton protection that is powered by BIOST® Nematicide. This premium cotton seed treatment includes several best-in-class fungicides, insecticides and a nematicide applied as a seed treatment to provide complete early season protection from common seedling diseases, thrips, aphids and nematodes. It is superior, comprehensive protection from the moment the seed is planted.

BIOST® Nematicide has broad spectrum activity

Columbia Lance
Named for its origin in Columbia, SC, this nematode thrives in sandy soils. Over time, its presence has spread north and south of its origin. Root feeding deteriorates vigorous roots but this nematode does not result in root galling.

Reniform
Unlike other nematode species, reniform does not kill the cotton plant but can significantly diminish plant health and ultimate yield. Reniform also is more evenly distributed in a field vs the “hot spots” caused by others. It is most commonly found in soils with high clay or silt content.

Root-Knot
Easily identifiable by galls they form on roots as the nematode grows inside of a root. They exist in all soil types and are known for populating in “hot spots”.

Sting
Also known for causing “hot spots” in fields, sting nematodes favor very sandy soils in the southeastern US.

No matter what the nematode species, sampling is critical to avoid losing yield and profit.
